KANSAS CITY, Mo. -

A 31-year-old man was sentenced Friday to two life sentences in prison, one without parole, for sexually assaulting and kidnapping a 71-year-old woman in her Kansas City, Mo., apartment, the Jackson County Prosecutors Office said.

Ramone Winters was sentenced by Jackson County Judge John Torrence to life without parole for nine sex crimes related to the Dec. 15, 2011 attack, along with a second life sentence that will run concurrently.

Winters was convicted in January in the attack of the woman in her Northeast Kansas City area home.

Court documents said Winters raped and sodomized the victim for at least three hours, and also took photographs of the attack using his cell phone.

Winters was previously convicted in 2007 of raping a 77-year-old woman in 2000.
